For my lack of understanding please forgive me
I believe that rsync in running in --daemon mode
the version of rsync we are using is 2.4.6
also if this helps we are running rsync using the following
command line
rsync -avz --delete --force --progress
--exclude-from=/usr/local/etc/exclude.list server::toor/u/groups/asset
/u/groups
this command runs thru a number of files and eventually stops halfway thru
it's job with the error below
ERROR: out of memory in generate_sums
Also we have ommitted --progress as well.
Has anyone seen this error is there a way to clear it up
You're probably trying to transfer too many files for the amount
of memory/swap space you have. Rsync as it is currently implemented
uses up a little bit of memory for every file it touches. Often people
break up their transfers into smaller pieces by copying each top level
directory separately.
